Axis Communications, a global leader in physical security and network surveillance solutions, has announced the appointment of Loubna Imenchal as its new Regional Director for the Middle East, Turkey, Central Asia, and Africa (MEA).

The appointment marks an important step for Axis as it accelerates expansion across one of the company’s fastest-growing and most diverse regions. The new role highlights Axis’s commitment to strengthening leadership, building strategic partnerships, and driving sustainable growth across the META region.

Loubna brings over 20 years of leadership experience from top global technology companies including Honeywell, Johnson Controls, and Logitech.
